Midwest Presentations

Equation Engine requires a level of knowledge that can make it seem like a daunting tool for term fee selection. In the summer of 2013, the University of Minnesota leveraged equations to combine term fees and reduce the number setup each semester by 30%. This presentation highlights the approach taken in order to make the setup easier to maintain by both experts and non-experts alike.

In broad terms, the University of Minnesota strategy includes developing re-usable SQL statements, using Criteria to store selection parameters, and creating a BI Publisher Query Report to connect the dots for non-experts.
